I've seen them in north western Canada and they are really cool. Never seen them in the lower 48, wait one time in Vermont about 30 years ago.
I saw an incredible green ribbon candy like aurora while in the western mountains of Maine around 1993! Best I ever saw. I was with my girlfriend at my camp. We went out on the pond for max sky visibility and laid back on our snowmobile seats for a good half hour watching it dance all over the sky. I wonder if it was the same night that you saw in Vermont ... Virtually the same latitude and a couple hundred miles away.
I was up in north Vermont early spring of 91 looking at colleges.
My father ran over a deer that got hit prior. It was really gross, the car bucked violently and we had guts all over the front wheels.
I dated this girl '90-'94, still possible it was the same night and I'm mistaken about the year. It was the best I ever saw before or since, mesmerizing green light show in the dark of the western mountains of Maine.
Those deer guts must have frozen on solid by morning.
